FOURTH or July FIRE CRACKERS.

''The two best friends of our glorious
Fourth. said q dealer, ''are Chow-Hing
and Ch@y sun of Canton. The boys find
fewer '~sissers' in a pack of their fire
crackers than in any other make. Theirs
are the kind that go off best with us, any
how. When you see that red label with
the gold dragon OIL it you may be sure you
are buying firecrackers that will crack.
See that matted and rattaned package there
like a chest of tea? In that are exactly co.
$50 crackers. 1t takes in eight boxes, with
forty packs in each box and in every pack
sixty-four crackers. Some packs contain
seventy-two crackers, but fully 90 per
cent. OF our importations are what WI call
s40-64s.'

q POT

You asked me about a pot pourri. have
found an old recipe, warranted to be good
and which calls for great care in the gath
ering Of the leaves. 1t is said to remain
fragrant in open bowls for two years if oc-
c~asionally stirred, but in the closed pot
pourri, which ! am sure you VIII use, it
will remain fragrant much longer. One is
advised TO pluck the rose leaves early in
the ~morning-with them rave IN equal
Quantity of lavender blossoms and put
them all in a large earthenware bowl. Add
half n pound of crushed orris root, and
then to every two pounds add two ounces
of bruised cloves, of cinnamon, of allspiee
and common salt. Let the whole stand
for about a fortnight, thoroughly mixing
it every day with your hands and then it
will be ready for use. As pot pourris are
charming gifts, | think you will be wise
TO arrange a number this spring that yonr
city friends may rave odors of the land of
the roses TO remind them of you.-"Bab''

WHEN SHOULD WHEAT BE cUT.

The best time to cut wheat is a point of
great Importance to the farmer. The ex-
eeptionally high price of Minnesota wheat
in our markets is largely due to the dry at
mosphere Of the section i'll which it grows.
The most valuable constituents OF a grain
of wheat are gluten, starch, and a small
amount of phosphates. Gluten forms
flesh; starch is a heat producer and forms
fat. The per cent. of gluten varies in diff
ferent kinds Of wheat. Ohio wheat con-
tains from ten to fifteen per cent, while
starch may constitute from fifty to sixty
per cent. of the kernel. Gluten is more
nutritious than starch, its composition
more nearly resembling the muscular tissue
Of animals.
Aside from the value of gluten as food,
it has valuable properties, in combination
with starch, for making bread. Wheat
containing a small amount Of gluten is
softer, and will make much whittier flour,
for the gluten imparts a ~yellowish shade.
But, if -four contains too little gluten, it
will not rise, even if yeast be added. GlH-
ten dixie glue) forms, with water, a tena-
cious paste, so that when fermentiye action
begins in the dough, the glGten forms a
around the earbonie acid gas. and retains
it, causing the dough TO rise. When bak-
ed, such bread is very light and sweet,
though not as white as when little gluten
is present. Many farmers are induced to
cut their wheat too soon, because the kerr
mel remains large and plump, from the
moisture contained in the starch. Wheat
containing a large amount of gluten will
appear shrunken, because the gluten read
lily yields its moisture, but will be far
more valuable as food.
Repeated experiments have failed to
show any increase, either of starch or glu-
ten, from day to day, after wheat has been
cut. The only rule we can suggest, which
may apply to varieties, is this: delay cut
ting as long as compatible with avoiding
waste in handling. When cut, secure it
as promptly and as perfectly as possible.
To make the best bread, a good, sound,
glutinous variety of wheat must be w
on sound, dry land; it must get fully ripe
before if is harvested, be secured without
damage, and must be properly ground

ROME HAPPINESS.

Perhaps nineteen -twentieths of the hap
pineSs yon will ever have You will get at
home. The independence that comes to a
man when his work is over, and he feels
that he has run ont 0f the storm into the
qniet harbor of home, where he can rest in
peace With his family, is something real.
II does not make much difference whether
You own your house or have one little room
in that house, you can make that little
room a home TO you. You can people it
with such moods, you can tarn to it with
such sweet f~ancies, that it will be fairly
luminous with their presence, and will be
to yon the very perfection Of a home.
Against this home none of yon should
ever transgress. You should always treat
each other with courtesy. II is often not
50 difficult to love a person as it is to be
courteous to him. Courtesy is Of greater
value and a more royal grace than some
people seem to think. If you will but be
courteous to each other you will love each
other more wisely, profoundly, not to say
lastingly, than you ever did before.

"Mary, Mary" he said, "get ready.

reply. Nor did he wait for one. But in
half an hour a carriage was at the gate, in
which were Bishop Dane and johanna.

came. She had fed to the arms of her
stalwart husband for the protection she re-
quired.

Miss Mary Tillinghast is one OF the most
successful among the women who nave
made n business of decorative art. VAN
dcrbilt once paid her $50, 900 for inventinS
a new kind Of tapestry hangings for his
houses. She supplied the designs for the
stained glass window just erected in Grace
Church, N. Y, representing Jacobs
Dream. No piece Of cathedral art had
ever been intrlsted in this country to a
woman, but her designs were so obviously
the best that precedent was broken
through. Tie angels ascending and de-
seendine the ladder are full of life and
yigor, and the window ranks with the best
of modern decorative work.

RAMEsEs H.-Major Bagnold and party
of the Royal Engineers began the lifting
up of the great statue of Rameses H.,
which has lain for centuries on its face in
the deep ditch that its own weight has
tended to make for it among the palms OF
Mitrahine, the modern site of the old
Memphis. The vast colossus of the King
is of fne-grained limestone, about IS feet
high. The monolith looks as if it had
been built into a propylon or gate wall,
and then sculptured IN stu. 1t was dis
covered by Caviglia and Salt in 1920. 1t lies
face downward almost due east and west
with head toward Sakkara. It was erected
by the King as thank-offering for escape
from treacherous death by burning al

The Chinese Murderer.

The most valuable Monaghan in Califor-
MIA to day is the Chinaman who murdered
Mrs. Billou, at ST. Johns, last Thursday.
The SO, 100 reward offered for him, dead or
alive, has caused every detective in the
State to drop all other business and look
after this most important parsonage. A
most thorough watch has been kept here OF
all incoming trains and the Chinese quar-
tiers. 1t is hardly possible that he came
here or that he will be able to elude his
pursuers so as to come as far as Sacra-
mento. A gentleman down from Chico
last evening says the excitement has not
| in the least abated, and more men were out
in search of the murderer yesterday than
on any day previous. They have discov-
cred tracks of the fugitive which make
| them believe that he is still lurking in the
| neighborhood of st. Johns, and the country
| is SO full of armed men that his escape is
deemed impossible and his speedy capture
| expected. The Chinese at Chico, Nord
and Vina are very much excited. The
armed posses who search their camps are
very demonstrative, and the Chinese who
" no sabbee or show the least opposition
to search of their premises are roughly
! handled All sorts of rumors are afloat
relative to the Whereabouts of the muir
derer, but the only thing certain is that he
| is not yet caught.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and Hay
Fever-A New Treatment.

from the Mail CAM, Dec. 15th.l
Catarrh is a muco-purulent discharge
caused by the presence and development of
a vegetable parasite in the internal lining
mem brane of the nose. This parasite is
only developed under favorable circum-
stances and these are: Morbid state of the
blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle,
the germ poison of mercury, toxom@a,
from the retention of the effete matter of
the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly
ventilated sleeping apartments and other
poisons that are terminated in the blood.
These poisons keep the internal lining
membrane of the nose in constant state
of irritation, ever ready for the deposit OF
the seeds of these germs, which spread up
the nostrils and down the fauces, or back
of the throat causing liberation of the
throat up the eustachian tubes, causing
deafness; burrowing in the vocal cords,
causing hoarseness; usurping the proper
structure of the bronchial tubes, ending in
pulmonary consumption and death.
Many attempts have been made to cure
this distressing disease by the use of inhsl-
ents, medicated vapors and other ingenious
devices but none of these treatments can
do particle of good until the parasites
are either destroyed or removed from the
mucus tissue.
Some time since well-known physician
of forty years standing, after much expert
menting, succeeded in discovering the
necessary combination of ingredients
which never fail in absolutely and perma-
nently Graduating this horrible disease,
whether standing for one year or forty
years. Those who may be suffering from
the above disease should, without delay,
communicate with Mr.. Dixon, Sr., of the
firm of A. II. Dixon Il Son, Toronto, Can
